Rice:
* Cook the rice with all the other ingredients and cool it off  in a plate for half an hour.I used rice cooker.We can also cook the rice on stove top and strain the water.The ultimate motto is to get non sticky rice.If u have leftovers in ur fridge, then it will be very apt for fried rice.

Cooking chicken:
* Wash and pressure cook the chicken with G&G paste ,salt and turmeric pwdr,for 2 whistles.When the pressure is released,remove the bones and cut into small pieces.
* Grind garlic and green chillies together into a fine paste.Take a pan add very little oil and saute this paste and slowly add the cooked chicken pieces.Adjust pepper and salt to the chicken and keep it aside.


Frying:
* Slice all the veges,including onion ,ginger and garlic into thin slices.
* Take a wide pan,add oil , saute onion,ginger and garlic slices.
* Now slowly dump in the veges and give it a stir.
* Scrumble egg and add it to the mixture.
* Now slowly add the seasonings and toss it.
* Mix the cooked rice and adjust salt to taste.
* Now sprinkle cooked chicken and spring onions .
* Garnish with cilantro and serve with any dry or ketch up.
